Univision




Univision is one of the largest hispanic television channels in the United States.

Initially founded by the largest media company in Mexico (now known as Grupo
Televisa) as a means to spread Spanish programming in the United States,
Univision has grown to be the largest Spanish language media outlet in the
U.S. It's daily News program Noticiero Univision, co-anchored by Jorge Ramos
and Maria Elena Salinas, has in several occasions outdone (in number of
ratings) major English language network evening news programming such as
CBS, NBC, and ABC's World News Tonight.

Although Grupo Televisa still owns a large stake in Univision stock
holding's, Grupo Cisneros of Venezuela purchased a large amount of shares
becoming it's largest shareholder.

Univision and Telemundo USA have been competing for the top spot among
hispanic viewers for many years, often imitating each other's programming.

Univision however has constantly maintained a lead in ratings due in large
part to Mexican telenovelas, or soap operas, and other programming produced
by Grupo Televisa. Telemundo has recently grown more competitive with
Brazilian telenovelas and also in large part because NBC has equipped the
network since it purchased it.

Univision headquarters are based in Los Angeles, although much of its
programming is filmed in Miami. Among it's shows are, El Show De Cristina
(talkshow conducted by Cristina Saralegui),Don Francisco's Sabado Gigante
Despierta America(morning show), Primer Impacto(newsmagazine), Aqui y
Ahora(premier investigative nightly newsmagazine), and Noticiero
Univision(news program conducted by Jorge Ramos and Maria Elena Salinas).

In addition to that, Univision has for years shown live boxing fights and
soccer matches, and also the world cup.

Univision has contracts with Mexico's Televisa, Venezuela's Venevision, and
Puerto Rico's WAPA-TV to showcase some of their telenovelas and tv shows.
